Do you know what can destroy your date? Bad breath! The worst thing is that many people do not even realize their problems.
According to a recent survey, nine out of ten people aged between 16 and 40 years believe that bad breath is the worst social communication error. Fortunately, there are many ways to deal with it. After all, no one wants to kiss when the mouth is spreading bad smell.
Before preparing for a date brush your teeth. This is very useful in order to ensure that there is no any food residue. Do not forget to exfoliate your tongue, especially the back part of it where the vast majority of bad breath-causing bacteria accumulate.
Always have some chewing gum. This is the simplest way to quickly get rid of bad breath. Chewing gum has two advantages: it not only temporarily masks unwanted odors, but also stimulates the production of saliva, and saliva neutralizes bacteria causing bad breath.
Ingredients of chewing gum are also important. Some chewing gums contain natural essential oils, which effectively protect your mouth by increasing your ability to go to the second date. The best ingredients are cinnamon, peppermint and mint essential oils. They affect bacterial membrane and then wash the bacteria.
Avoid garlic, onion, and large quantities of alcohol. Since garlic and onion essential oils stay in your mouth for a couple of days, these foods are particularly well-known agents of halitosis. Alcohol dries the mouth, and thus emphasizes the effects of anaerobic bacteria.
Drink plenty of water. After eating, do not forget to rinse your mouth with water. It washes away food remnants and improves the flow of saliva, which will also protect you from bad breath.
